Chapter 218: The Emperor Will Give Qingxuan an Explanation

you heard about my affairs" 。Fu Qing's movements of tousling her hair bun became more intense, he pursed his lips tightly. 。Fu Qing: “It seems… besides knowing she is the legitimate daughter of Duke...Nan Gong Ye's face turned even darker upon hearing this.

Yunshen's heart sank.

Wouldn't the prince have him killed in a fit of rage

Just when Yun Sheng felt his life was on the line, Nangong Ye coldly spoke, "Serve the dishes."

Yun Sheng: "...."

It's okay.

Even though the Princess is in the palace, as long as you mention something that would make her angry, you can still handle the Prince perfectly.

Yun Sheng grows loose one breath.

In the courtyard, various medicinal herbs of color, fragrance, and taste filled the entire stone table.

Nan Gong Ye sat at the stone table, gazing towards the imperial palace. Because he missed his wife dearly, even the most delicious food tasted bland and tasteless, like chewing wax.

For a long while, in the silent courtyard, Yun Sheng heard Nangong Ye muttering to himself, "It's better if he just dies quickly."

Yun Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

He naturally knew that the "he" mentioned by Nangong Ye referred to the Emperor.

——

Meanwhile, in the imperial study, the Emperor suddenly sneezed.

Zhou Gong hurriedly stepped forward, worriedly asking, "Your Majesty, have you caught a cold"

The emperor glanced at the cloak he was wearing.

"Ever since I fell ill, I have been extra careful to keep warm, following my imperial physician's advice. Just now, I wasn't feeling cold, but then I suddenly sneezed. However... perhaps it is due to my condition"

The emperor was quite perplexed, unsure why he suddenly sneezed. He attributed this inexplicable sneeze to his illness.

Malignancy is a terminal illness, for an emperor it's like a sword hanging over his head at all times.

As long as the disease of sarcoma remained uncured, the emperor could not rest assured for a single day.

The Emperor immediately thought of Ji Qingxuan and promptly asked Zhou Dequan, "How is Mei'er doing"

Zhou Dequan: "Your Majesty, today I went to inquire. I heard that after the Crown Princess detoxified Princess Mei yesterday, Princess Mei did not have a fever at night. Now her face has gradually recovered its color. In two days, Princess Mei will be able to wake up."

Upon hearing Zhou Dequan's words, a glimmer appeared in the emperor's eyes.

"Your Imperial Majesty, this Imperial Consort truly is a medical prodigy! With this illness of mine, the Imperial Consort will surely be able to cure me!"

The emperor also suffered from sarcoma, the same as Chen Lingyue's double sarcoma. Qingxuan could cure such cases, let alone the emperor's single sarcoma.

It's just...

Seeing Zhou Dequan hesitate, his brows furrowing slightly, the emperor couldn't help but say, "Dequan, you have something on your mind, just speak freely."

Zhou Dequan has always been thinking of the emperor these years.

He naturally wanted Qingxuan to remove the tumor from the emperor as soon as possible.

Thinking about this, Zhou Dequan said: "Your Majesty, based on my observations of the Crown Princess these past few days, she not only possesses extraordinary medical talent, but... she is also a person who bears grudges."

The Emperor's eyes darkened at his words, but he did not interrupt Zhou Dequan.

Zhou Dequan, seeing the situation, continued to say: "Your Majesty, you know the rules that Princess Consort follows when treating patients. Previously, when Princess Consort treated Chen Lingyue, Princess Zhaoyang tried to interfere with Princess Consort. Even later, an assassin appeared trying to assassinate Princess Consort."

"Then isn't he already dead in prison"

Zhou Dequan glanced at the emperor. The assassin was Princess Zhaoyang's assassin, and dying in prison was considered a death without evidence. The emperor simply pretended not to see it.

Zhou Dequan: "However, given the Princess Consort's personality. Even if the assassin is dead, Princess Chaoyang almost stopped the Princess Consort from treating Chen Lingyue, even breaking her rules. The Princess Consort will definitely not let this go so easily."

"She's still upside down!"

The emperor placed the teacup heavily on the table.

Zhou Dequan pursed his lips and said no more.

Now that the emperor needs Qingxuan, he is naturally at Qingxuan's mercy.

The emperor took a deep breath, letting out the air he'd been holding, but he still had to give Qingxuan an explanation.eror's poisoned cup tomorrow"Tomorrow, the emperor will come himself to offer the poisoned wine. To the outside world, the emperor's act appears to be one of paternal love, personally granting his own...
